Rex’s Exes 2016
Rex’s Exes by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, & Jamie Wooten
Lake Whitney Arts Association, November 5-13. 2016
Directed by Ed Sanders
This deliriously funny Southern-fried farce finds the Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas— Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette —teetering on the brink of disaster again. Gaynelle is frustrated and frazzled from working too many two-bit jobs. Peaches is determined to throw Gaynelle a surprise birthday party she doesn’t even want. Jimmie Wy reluctantly agrees to help Peaches surprise Gaynelle. But it turns out the surprise is on them when the party plans shift to a hastily thrown-together family funeral instead. The hilarity escalates when Peaches’ recently declared dead husband unexpectedly returns and his romantic link to each of the cousins is revealed. And the hits just keep on coming as a Cajun bounty hunter who’s tracking Peaches’ husband crashes the funeral and a jilted bride holds the Verdeens hostage with a loaded paintball gun. As the outrageous complications of this ferociously funny Jones-Hope-Wooten comedy explode into chaos, you’ll find yourself hoping your next family celebration—be it a birthday, wedding or funeral—is even half this much fun!
